How does cpanel-based web site hosting operate?

For your info, it's useful to know that the majority of the cPanel-based webspace hosting offers on the contemporary webspace hosting marketplace are generated by a very inconsiderable marketing niche (when it comes to annual capital flow) dubbed hosting reseller. Reseller hosting is a kind of a small-scale business niche, which furnishes an enormous amount of different web hosting trademarks, yet furnishing strictly the same thing: mainly cPanel web hosting solutions. This is bad news for everyone. Why? Due to the fact that at least 98% of the webspace hosting offerings on the whole webspace hosting market furnish absolutely the same solution: cPanel. There's no difference at all. Even the cPanel web page hosting prices are identical. Very identical. Giving those who demand a top web hosting service practically no other website hosting platform/hosting Control Panel choice. Thus, there is simply one fact: out of more than 200k web hosting trademarks around the world, the non-cPanel based ones are less than two percent! Less than 2 percent, note that one...

Two hundred thousand "webspace hosting suppliers", all cPanel-based, yet differently named

The hosting "diversity" and the web page hosting "offers" Google reveals to all of us boil down to just one and the same thing: cPanel. Under 100's of thousands of different web site hosting trademarked names. Suppose you are only a regular fellow who's not very familiar with (as the majority of us) with the site development processes and the hosting platforms, which actually power the separate domain names and web portals . Are you ready to make your hosting selection? Is there any web space hosting variant you can select? Of course there is, now there are more than 200,000 website hosting service providers in existence. Formally. Then where is the problem? Here's where: more than 98% of these 200,000+ different web site hosting brands around the world will give you exactly the same cPanel web page hosting Control Panel and platform, labeled differently, with precisely the same price tags! WOW! That's how large the variety on the present-day webspace hosting market is... Period.

The web hosting LOTTO we are all part of

Simple mathematics reveals that to chance upon a non-cPanel based web hosting corporation is a mammoth stroke of fortune. There is a less than one in fifty chance that a phenomenon like that will occur! Less than 1 in 50...

The strong and weak points of the cPanel webspace hosting solution

Let's not be cruel with cPanel. At least, in the years 2001-2004 cPanel was modern and possibly answered all webspace hosting industry prerequisites. To put it briefly, cPanel can achieve the desired result if you have just one domain name to host. But, if you have more domain names...

Shortcoming No.1: A stupid domain name folder setup

If you have 2 or more domains, though, be very attentive not to delete entirely the add-on ones (that's how cPanel will refer to each new hosted domain, which is not the default one: an add-on domain). The files of the add-on domains are very easy to remove on the web hosting server, since they all are set up into the root folder of the default domain name, which is the quite well known public_html folder. Each add-on domain is a folder placed inside the folder of the default domain. Like a sub-folder. Next time attempt not to erase the files of the add-on domain names, please. Determine for yourself how fabulous cPanel's domain folder setup is:

public_html (here my-default-domain.com is placed)
public_html/my-family (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-domain.com (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-second-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-second-wife.net (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-third-domain.com (an add-on domain)
public_html/my-third-wife (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/my-third-wife.net (an add-on domain name)
public_html/rebeka (a folder part of my-default-domain.com)
public_html/rebeka.my-third-wife.net (a sub-domain of an add-on domain name)

Are you becoming bewildered? We undeniably are!

Drawback No.2: The same email folder configuration

The electronic mail folder structure on the server is exactly the same as that of the domains... Making the same error twice?!? The admin blokes firmly fortify their faith in God when handling the e-mail folders on the email server, praying not to bungle things up too gravely.

Disadvantage Number 3: A complete deficiency of domain manipulation sections

Do we need to mention the sheer shortage of a modern domain name manipulation platform - a place where you can: register/relocate/renew/park or administer domain names, edit domain names' Whois info, secure the Whois info, alter/create nameservers (DNS) and DNS resource records? cPanel does not supply such a "modern" user interface at all. That's a major predicament. An unjustifiable one, we would like to add...

Weak Point Number 4: Multiple login places (min 2, max 3)

How about the demand for an additional login to utilize the billing transaction, domain and tech support administration system? That's aside from the cPanel login credentials you've been already provided by the cPanel-based website hosting service provider. At times, on the basis of the invoicing system (principally created for cPanel only) the cPanel web hosting corporation is using, the devoted clients can wind up with 2 additional login locations (1: the invoicing transaction/domain management software platform; 2: the trouble ticket support software solution), winding up with an aggregate of three login locations (including cPanel).

Predicament Number Five: More than 120 web hosting CP departments to get familiar with... rapidly

cPanel offers to your attention more than one hundred and twenty sections inside the site hosting Control Panel. It's a wonderful idea to pick up each one of them. And you'd better pick them up swiftly... That's way too impudent on cPanel's side.

With all due recognition, we have a rhetorical question for all cPanel-based website hosting suppliers:

As far as we know, it's not the year 2001, is it? Mind that one too...
